IV. A. Read the passage and sort out the proposals mentioned in it.
Water saving is an important task for everyone. We can do many things at home. First, shut the tap while brushing teeth immediately saves litres of water. Next, we can use leftover water to water plants or clean floors. Take short showers, not long baths. When using the dishwasher, fill it fully before starting. Use the energy - saving mode. In laundry, use water - efficient machines and only full loads. To leaks - if a tap does not shut fully, it will drop water every minute. A small drip becomes big wastewater over time. A kilo of water lost each day adds up to hundreds of litres a year. This is why we need awareness.
In public places, signs remind people to save water. People do research on new tech like smart tap and indirect reuse. Communities hold clean - up events to protect water and spread good habits.
When all people join these simple steps, we move forward beyond waste. It's not hard. It takes careful attention and habit. Everyone can agree: saving water is our responsibility.
